It explains that hydrogen fuses into helium in stars, releasing energy that opposes gravity. This energy radiates as electromagnetic radiation. Additionally, it mentions how particle accelerators replicate stellar fusion by colliding subatomic particles at high energies, simulating conditions in stars and the early universe.
